Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus was born in Einsiedeln, Switzerland on the 10th November, 1493. He was a Swiss doctor and alchemist (medieval doctor) commonly praised with founding medieval chemistry. He also was the first physician to correctly diagnose a number of serious illnesses including tuberculosis (disease of lungs).
My ancestor had many achievements during the Renaissance Period. Some of these included:
o A doctorate in medicine from the University of Ferrara in 1515
o He was an army physician in Denmark from 1518 to 1521
o Paracelsus also wrote books about medicine, surgery, and cosmology (the nature of the universe).
o He tried to heal the sick that had caught the plague.

These achievements have shaped o

ur world today in several ways. His life achievements were mainly advances in medicine. He did this by establishing the chemistry branch of medicine and its uses. He also published “Der grossen Wundartzney” (Great Surgery Book) in 1536 allowing people to gain an understanding of surgery without using experience. It was also the most prominent surgery book at the time. In his medical study he created clinical descriptions of many deadly diseases such as syphilis.
